Fixtures in the opening rounds of the championship are usually played at a neutral venue that is deemed halfway between the participating teams. Some of the more common venues include Hennessy Park in Miltown Malbay and Kilmihil. Cusack Park in Ennis also hosts several double-headers in the early rounds of the championship.

The final is regularly played at Cusack Park in Ennis. Named after the founder of the GAA, Michael Cusack, the ground had an original capacity of about 28,000, but following a 2011 safety review, the certified capacity was reduced to 14,864. In 2015 a major renovation started, this included the demolition and re-erection of the main stand and construction of a new entrance/exit at the north side of the stadium. Once completed in late 2017 the official capacity was increased to 19,000

• North Clare was a two-time temporary amalgamation similar to the modern-day divisional teams seen in Cork and Kerry. North Clare drew it's players from the Ballyvaughan-Fanore, Corofin, Ennistymon, Kilfenora, Liscannor, Michael Cusack's and St. Breckan's football clubs. They competed together at senior level when they were all competing at either intermediate or junior level individually. North Clare played in three county finals in 1934, 1977 and 1978, losing on each occasion to Kilrush Shamrocks.

• When Ennis Dalcassians won the 1943 Clare Junior Football Championship, they offered an opportunity to players from fellow junior club, Doora-Barefield, to join with them and enter the 1944 senior championship as the Ennis Faughs. In 1952 when Ennis Dalcassians became Éire Óg, the Ennis Faughs continued to play at senior level until disbanding after losing the 1956 county final. In a thirteen year period, the Ennis Faughs reached eleven county finals, winning four senior titles in 1947, 1948, 1952 and 1954. When Ennis Dals were relegated back down to junior level in 1945, a second Ennis Faughs team also entered and immediately won the 1946 Clare Intermediate Football Championship.

• In 1993, Éire Óg and Doora-Barefield were both competing at intermediate level. Éire Óg once again offered an opportunity to players from Doora-Barefield to join with them and try to replicate their previous successes. The new Ennis Faughs entered and immediately won the 1994 Clare Senior Football Championship, defeating Kilrush Shamrocks in the county final after a replay. They reached back-to-back county finals in 1995, but relinquished their title to Doonbeg. As Éire Óg won the 1995 Clare Intermediate Football Championship, the Ennis Faughs were once again disbanded. Doora-Barefield subsequently went on to win the 1997 Clare Intermediate Football Championship.
